A review by marsnielson
The Black Box by Michael Connelly
3.0
It's not the worst book from Connelly but it's certainly not the best.
As a native Dane the Danish aspects of the book really bothered me.
First of, the name of the victim Anneke is an extremely unusual name. Of a population of about 6 million people only about 50 living people in total are named that.
Secondly, Connelly keeps refering to the Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende as BT, but BT is an entirely separate newspaper in Denmark.
That is just bad research on Connelly's part. Both things could have been fact checked in 5 minutes on Google.
